PUD-93-02-09M 2001 Ruby Hill Boulevard Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to avoid potentially significant effects. Project Location The subject site contains one (1) parcel approximately 36 acres in size, located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue, at the southwest corner of Vineyard Avenue and Ruby Hill Boulevard (APN 950-0010- 046). Surrounding uses are listed as the following: North: Gravel Quarries (Alameda County) East: Commercial (City of Livermore) South: Vineyards and Ruby Hill Development West: Vineyards and Ruby Hill Development Pleasanton General Plan and Land Use The subject site is designated by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan for Agriculture and Grazing uses. The General Plan for this area encourages uses which relate to the outlying wine country and calls for creating an attractive gateway to the Livermore Valley wine country and implementing wine country architectural and landscape design themes throughout the corridor. The Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan contains similar land use objectives to encourage development of vineyard and related commercial uses. The restaurant use is one of the uses allowed within the conservation easement area. It is an appropriate use for this site as it is closely affiliated with the vineyards and will retail some of the local wines. Restaurants are often located in the wine-growing regions and, as such, would promote local economy and would attract tourism. This is consistent with one of the policies of the South Livermore Valley Area Plan, adopted by Alameda County in 1993, which encourages the promotion of the area as a premier Figure 1: Location Map
